The two most-buzzed about dogs who won prizes on Monday are Bugaboo, aka Swagger, the Old English Sheepdog named best in the Herding Group and Toy Group winner, a Shih Tzu named Rocket Power. Swagger, owned by Ron Scott, Debbie Burke, and Colton and Heather Johnson, was born on May 18th, 2011, and is known for his giant puff of hair.
